Interfacing laser driver circuits with commercially available laser diodes at high data rates can be a complicated and frustrating task. This application note is intended to briefly address this topic ...

Continuous-wave laser diodes in precision-instrument applications require constant-current sources to drive them. Proper design of such a driver must involve careful tackling of robustness, stability, ...

The increase in laser-diode sales has had a knock-on effect on activity in the diode-driver market. Neil Savage gives an update of the latest products on offer. Trends in laser-diode drivers, ...

Anyone who has just spent several thousand pounds on a semiconductor laser diode should think twice before simply connecting it to a conventional laboratory power supply. To avoid damaging your laser ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

Intersil announced the ISL78365 laser diode driver for automotive heads-up display (HUD) systems. The highly integrated device pulses four high intensity lasers up to 750mA for projecting full-HD ...
